When I was in high school, the principal used to measure the boy’s sideburns and the girl’s skirts with a ruler.

When I was in school, we had to kneel, if our hem didn't touch the floor we had to go home and change clothes.

Me, too, except they gave us an inch from the floor. Girls were not allowed to wear pants and boys were not allowed to wear T-shirts.

They did that too, but the principal was a pervert and wanted to touch the girl’s legs.

We had to do that, too — kneel and the hem had to touch the floor. Such sniveling at this prom, honestly. “I was embarassed.” That is appropriate.
